- Proposal for periodic update of Normative Instruction (IN) 162/2022, to exclude grace periods for the active pharmaceutical ingredients (AMI) robenidine hydrochloride and maduramicin alpha ammonium.
- Proposed revision of Resolution of the Collegiate Council (RDC) 730/2022, to establish criteria for the extrapolation of maximum residue limits (MRLs) of AMIs between animal species, based on the recommendations established by the Codex Alimentarius.
